Gujarat's land contribution to Dholera is on the books at Rs 2,898.50 crore, and the share register is built one share to the rupee

Both annual reports state that Gujarat transferred 48.31 square kilometres of land to DICDL as matching equity, valued at Rs 2,898.50 crore, and the shareholding is issued at exactly one share for each rupee on both sides.

Confirmed by an official document: a government release, a filing, or the company's own published statement.

The state holds 2,898,496,531 shares through DSIRDA for 51 percent, and the central side holds 2,784,830,000 shares through NICDIT for 49 percent. Those share counts are the two contributions in rupees. The state put in land valued at Rs 2,898.50 crore and the centre sanctioned infrastructure packages of Rs 2,784.83 crore across five major activation-area projects, and each side received one share per rupee.

It is a neat way to see what Dholera actually is on paper. One shareholder contributed the ground and the other contributed the money to build on it, and the ownership split follows the arithmetic. What no source we hold breaks down is the five packages, so there is no per-package value or contractor below.
